Weimar, Germany, Germany

Displayed:   times.

Weimar, which can be seen in a day, has a strong connection to Germany's most famous poets and philosophers (primarily Goethe and Schiller). It was also a temporary seat of the German government between the world wars (dubbed the Weimar Republic).

Among the sights are the Goethe National Museum, the tomb of Goethe and Goethe's Garden House. There's also the beautiful Park an der Ilm along the Ilm River, just south of town, which was designed by Goethe himself. Places connected to Schiller include the Schiller House and his tomb in the Alter Friedhof. There is also the Liszt House (where Liszt wrote his Hungarian Rhapsody) and Tiefurt Palace. Also nearby is the Buchenwald National Memorial, at the site of a Nazi concentration camp.
